Log Builders and Timber Framers all share a common characteristic – a true passion for their craft. They pride themselves on having the most talented and productive builders in the country with an unparalleled dedication to their trade.
When choosing the form of structure that best suits your needs, the BC Log and Timber Building Industry Association is proud to represent and provide information for Handcrafted, Machine Profiled, and Timber Frame building styles.
Hand Crafted
This traditional form of log construction comprises mostly of hand-peeled and sculpted logs, keeping the original form and function of the tree. Many builders offer both dovetail log home and post & beam log techniques.
- Custom & hand built structures
- Traditional hand-peeled and sculpted logs
- Fabricated and assembled offsite
Machine Profiled
This cutting edge technique embraces the use of full pre-cut milled logs that make for a more uniform appearance, often saving clients’ money in construction costs.
- Advanced finishing technology
- Reduces construction costs
- Eco-friendly footprint
Timber Framers
The Timber Frame building method uses heavy timbers rather than traditional dimensional lumber or logs. It often uses heavy, squared-off timber that is expertly cut, fitted, and joined to form the building frame and structural components.
- Hybrid or partial timber frames
- Beautiful exposed structural components
- Expertly cut squared-off timber
